1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the winepresses.
2 Rejoice ye in God our helper;
Shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
3 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel,
The pleasant psaltery with the harp.
4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
In the glorious day of your feast.
5 For this is an ordinance for Israel,
And a statute of the God of Jacob.
6 He made it to be a testimony in Joseph,
When he came forth out of the land of Egypt:
He heard a language which he understood not.
7 He removed his back from burdens:
His hands slaved in making the baskets.
8 Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee;
I heard thee in the secret place of the storm:
I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause.
9 Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel;
And I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;
10 There shall be no new god in thee;
Neither shalt thou worship a strange god.
11 For I am the Lord thy God,
That brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
12 But my people hearkened not to my voice;
And Israel gave no heed to me.
13 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts:
They will go on in their own ways.
14 If my people had hearkened to me,
If Israel had walked in my ways,
15 I should have put down their enemies very quickly,
And should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
16 The Lord’s enemies should have lied to him:
But their time shall be forever.
17 And he fed them with the fat of wheat;
And satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
